With a tip of the hat to tank nut, what are the worst aviation/aircraft related films you've seen?
Iron Eagle-don't know how many they've actually made; I've only seen the first one. I figured the sequels probably sucked as bad as the original...
Interceptor- Gotta love the way the bad guys crawled down the refuelling boom to take over the C-5...

The Iron Eagle films are definitely on top of my lists of the worst kind, but I relish watching it only for the IAF F-16s, Kfir Mirages and F-4Es, and also the WWII warplanes towards
the last IE III film. There are also some B-grade movies made like "Stealth" and some others I can't recall at the moment that just sucks!

The totally unbelievable, moronic, Iron Eagle.

All of Iron Eagle films was boring movie but i did like watching the fighter planes when they did have them on there...
I would also like to say X-15 was another not so good popcorn movie that could of been better with the cast of actors they had in it...

Hot Shots was funny. Iron Eagle well...sucked to say the least .

Didn't see Iron Eagle... but the only reedeming quality of Top Gun was the Tomcat.

It may not have been one of the worst aviation movies I have seen, but not in my opinion leading the pack either. Catch 22 had some great B-25 shots, but not enough to make it worthwhile.

As much as I love the movie, I have to say Midway has the worst aircraft continuity sequences ever pieced together. Never mind that Helldivers and Hellcats weren't in service yet, but having a F4F taxi out as a Hellcat, lift off as an Avenger then crash back as a Helldiver... that's too much.

Accuracy aside, I love the movie for its coverage of this great US victory at a tough time in the war.

Not sure if my memory serves correct, but think I remember some of the Dauntless shots looked like Vindicators. There were Vindicators in the battle, but they fley out of Midway.

I forgot about Midway. I would rather have a root canal than sit through that movie again!
